Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.

Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.

Signs You May Need Brake Service
Signs that your vehicle may need brake service include:
- Unusual Noises: One of the most common indicators that your brakes need attention is hearing unusual noises. Squeaking, squealing, or grinding sounds when you apply the brakes can be signs of worn brake pads or, in more severe cases, damaged rotors.
- Vibrations or Pulsations: If you feel vibrations or pulsations through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you apply the brakes, it could indicate uneven wear on the brake rotors. This condition, known as brake pulsation, may affect your vehicle's braking performance
- Burning Smell: A distinct burning odor, especially after heavy brake use, may indicate overheated brakes. Overheating can occur due to factors such as aggressive driving or brake system malfunctions.
